Blackouts have this pesky habit of not being very enjoyable. No power means being creative with your time (some more than others). There are rare occasions where blackouts are enjoyable and those are moments that Dark Horse likes to capture. A new superhero is slated to debut in Dark Horse Presents #24 and his name is--you guessed it--Blackout. The story is written by Frank Barbiere and illustrated by Michas Kaneshiro.

Barbiere says, “Blackout has a very fun sci-fi/mystery mythology that comes straight from DH Publisher Mike Richardson, and I think readers will be surprised and intrigued by what we have in store for them! Working with artist Micah Kaneshiro is a delight, and I look forward to bringing our story to DHP.”

In Blackout, the commonplace life of Scott Travers changes forever when he comes to possess an extraordinary piece of technology that allows him to access a mysterious dimension within our own. Blackout is wire-to-wire excitement in a world where nothing is as it seems.

Says Kaneshiro: “Working on Blackout has allowed me to do things on a technical level that I've never been able to do before professionally. With such a long history of brilliant contributors and significant creations, one can only feel honored to be a part of Dark Horse Presents in any capacity.”
